Compassion
The compassion My Son showed to all mankind is in your heart too
Caress all My children and release their fears as I know you can do
One to another sing of the joy you possess deep within your heart
A new revolution of compassion for each other your love will start
See all My people as I do and seek to increase their hearts
For the fullness of compassion that will last forever and not depart
The tears will flow from your eyes when you finally realize
All mankind is made from the love of a father, so do not criticize
But show compassion for the wrongs they do and help them to see
All creation on earth with the freedom I give is in the image of Me
Every heart contains the compassion that is needed to bless
Others and set them free to take their life forward and not guess
If they are loved by a father, mother, sister or brother this day
Compassion sets in motion the healing of relationships as you pray
Accept the missteps of others and you will be accepted with a passion
Because the love on this earth was ignited by Jesus’ compassion
